The Good Life: Series 3 Episode 4 (Part 1 of 3)

I Talk to the Trees
The Goods try talking to their plants to see if it'll help them grow. Margo decides to run for President of the Music Society.

My mother used to talk to her plants, and they thrived! African violets in particular. Your breath gives them extra CO2, and they sense your positive vibes. On the contrary, if you yell at them, they take on a discouraged look. Really. Botanists have proven this. ☘️😉

Talking to plants is way better than talking to yourself what a fabulous series its good clean fun to watch...:-)

"I'd give you the fare to Kathmandu Tom if I thought you'd go." said in Margo's cut-glass accent, may well be my favorite line of the entire series. Bought quite a few audiobooks for the sole reason that they were narrated by Penelope Keith.

[@toddcharry]

A classic show that never gets old. Thanks.

[@familytreeourstory]

I notice Tom pulls out the chair for Margo. I think that's lovely.

[@MrJezmo1]

[@wekakiwi]

6.55 lol.... 'I have just come to say, thank you VERY much. Goodbye."

'i'm merely suggesting you to not disbelieving it'

[@Technilady]

True, but it all depends on studio hire etc. They hire studios to a certain time and if they run over, it costs a fortune. It also depends on the scheduling too - with a lot of sitcoms being filmed during the mid to late 1970s and with fewer studios to use etc. they couldn't afford to miss filming sessions. Hope that makes some sense!

[@dbfkjmatt]

thanks so much for uploading this!

[@maidmoira]

loved this show

[@toddcharry]

Yes, that was a great show as well. This show is my favorite though.

[@toddcharry]

Thanks very much.

I think the piece that was played at 4:40 was "la calinda- koanga" for those who are interested

[@alicemhoy]

Favourite episode hahahaha

[@jcleaverchamberlinjr]

there are some interesting theories and therefore why shouldn't there be a theory like talking to plants to see if they grow better be considered a valid agricultural theory?

[@jcleaverchamberlinjr]

yes. It's the same with Porridge!

[@barryroach1980]

"may i say Mr Good you are blessed with a very intelligent wife!" i'm not a SJW and |'m 53 years young....but that was an innocent observation of a bygone age ....today it would be crucified for no reason....My poor humans!

[@JayCreates]

What it is really is plants and trees 'breathe' in carbon dioxide, and we expell it, so we help eachother.

[@stealthracer]

Never mind ... makes her sound even sexier. If that's possible.

[@margiewatson6081]

Passport to puberty :)

[@susanpremo8068]

Do you know the one whee Margo doesn't understand the jokes?

[@tipster-challenge]

its the christmas episode

[@susanpremo8068]

@@tipster-challenge thanks

[@toddcharry]

Does anyone know the name of the Delius piece they play at 4:40?

[@gamewizard7562]

I'm surprised they carried on filming with Felicity sounding ill. Was there really such a rush they couldn't have waited a few days for her to get better?

[@jaycee330]

Studio time is expensive, rescheduling is a nightmare. Felicity is a trooper, and knows about "the show must go on".

[@jcleaverchamberlinjr]

"Right-wing coup" Margo's really right-wing and a tad crazy!
